Is There a Local Democrat Who Wants a Good Fat Job?

One and possibly two fat jobs are in waiting for the right man, provided he is a democrat and can get the proper endorsement from the “higher” up fellows. Newton W. Gilbert has tendered his resignation as a member of the Philippine Commission, in charge of the department of education and President Wilson has accepted the same. The successor for Gilbert will probably be a Hoosier and the salary is $15,000 per year. Another job which some Hoosier is expected to land is judge advocate general of the navy. Still another job and a good one on the canal zone is open to some Indiana democrat.
